The Heir and Spare

Twins of Pemberley

By: Jen Geigle Johnson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When Elizabeth Bennet falls for the enigmatic Arthur Darcy, she’s unaware of one small detail—he has an identical twin with a mind (and heart) of his own.

Elizabeth Bennet expected the usual trials of a house party in the English countryside: social niceties, whispered intrigues, and perhaps the occasional dance. What she didn’t expect was to fall for the enigmatic Arthur Darcy—a man whose sharp wit and guarded heart challenge her in ways she never imagined. But there’s a catch: Arthur has a twin.

Fitzwilliam Darcy, Arthur’s charming yet mysterious brother, has a knack for stirring trouble—and Elizabeth’s emotions. As she gets to know them separately, she will soon be faced with them together. Who is truly courting her heart, and who might be hoping for something more of convenience only.

Caught in a web of mistaken identities, simmering tensions, and irresistible attraction, Elizabeth must untangle the truth before her heart chooses the wrong Darcy—or loses them both.
Fans of Pride and Prejudice will swoon over this irresistible tale of love, deception, and the thrilling question: which Darcy does she love?

Poor voice acting

I thought the story idea was intriguing, but I didn’t get past the first chapter because of the awful voice acting. There was almost no inflection, and I had difficulty distinguishing one character from another.

Elizabeth marries Darcy—but which one?

Identical twins! Which will ODG choose? An interesting and well-written story with an unexpected and vaguely disquieting outcome. I’m not quite sure I’m onboard with the result and will have to listen/read again after the “dust settles.” Perhaps the computer voice is less effective for this type of plot twist.
